Women & Other Marginalized Genders WFH: 2.5 Years In
I'm working on a piece about the promises and failures of WFH/hybrid work set-ups, nearly two and a half years after people with "portable" work were abruptly forced out of their offices.

I'm really trying to take a temperature: Is your life easier? Do you feel like you're missing out on opportunities? Do you feel like Zoom is better or worse for *you* specifically — and what women and marginalized genders in your office in general? How do you see the situation differing between parents and non-parents, people with younger children and older children and/or eldercare responsibilities?

I'm collecting real names and emails because we'll need to fact check, but you'll also have the opportunity to obscure your workplace and name so that you can speak frankly. If you have questions about any of this, please email me! annehelenpetersen@gmail.com, and please share with anyone who you think might want to share their experience!

**I HAVE A QUICK TURNAROUND ON THIS ONE, SO THE DEADLINE FOR RESPONSES IS THIS WEDNESDAY, JULY 13TH.**

Real Name (not to be used in full unless you indicate that you'd like it to be) and a first name that you'd be comfortable using in the piece
Location (can be general, like "Atlanta Suburbs" or "Seattle Area")
What industry do you work in?
Can you describe your workplace? Around how big it is, how top-down the management style is, how flexible it was before the pandemic, global or highly local — anything that you think is helpful in understanding it.
About how long have you been in your industry, and how long have you been in your current job?
What is your organization's current (I know it's always changing) WFH or hybrid policy — and how do you fit into that? (As in: "We're allowed to come in as much or as little as we want, and I'm coming in once a month," or "We're now fully remote, and I see my team once a year," etc etc.
What has been useful, amazing, reorienting, or just generally positive about the way work has changed for you over the last two+ years of working from home/hybrid? Could be about your relationship with your manager/co-workers, your control over your time, when and how you work. Think on the micro and the macro scale of your life.
And what has been shitty, regressive, or otherwise negative about the way work has changed for you over the last two+ years of remote/hybrid work? Again, think on the day to day level but also think big picture, too.
Is your organization a better or worse place for women and non-binary people to work today than it was when the pandemic started? Feel free to elaborate as much as you'd like.
What sort of changes would your organization have to institute in order to make it an even better place for women and non-binary people to work? (Could be modifications to current WFH/hybrid plan, ways of thinking of productivity, understanding of how and when people are selected for advancement, whatever you want)
Are most of the difficulties, roadblocks, or frustrations you're experiencing right now as a worker to do with your workplace or to do with society at large? Please elaborate, if you can; the answer can certainly be both.
